You know my name.
But you do not know me.
Your historians call me seductress, but I was ever in love’s thrall.
Your playwrights speak of witchcraft, but my talents came from the gods themselves.
Your poets sing of my blood-lust, but I was always protecting my children.
How wilfully they refuse to concede that a woman could be powerful, strategic, divinely blessed to rule.
Death will silence me no longer.
This is not the story of how I died. But how I lived.
From one of the most remarkable and acclaimed storytellers of her generation, the #1 bestselling author of Faebound and The Final Strife, this epic and groundbreaking new novel shows us Cleopatra on her own terms.
Saara El-Arifi will be in conversation with Elodie Harper, bestselling author of The Wolf Den Trilogy and Boudicca’s Daughter, for an evening of myth and magic followed by both authors signing their books.
We can’t wait for a fascinating evening!
Tickets are £5 for General Admission (£4 for Plus card holders) or £22 for Admission and a copy of the exclusive sprayed edge edition of Cleopatra. Tickets available from www.waterstones.com.
